莎士比亚叙事诗中的面部识别与共情发生

The Facial Recognition in Shakespeare’s Narrative Poems and Empathy

莎士比亚的叙事诗《维纳斯与阿都尼》与《鲁克丽丝受辱记》有着异常细腻而精彩的面部描写。这两首叙事诗极为突出地运用了人的感知觉规律,使得读者在面部识别的过程中自然调动了认知机制,实现了程度极高的共情。同时,个人的因素也参与了认知过程,由此达成了生理机制普遍性与社会经验特殊性的统一。也就是说,面部识别植根于人自身的感知觉处理的生理机制,也离不开人们在生活交流中的文化经历和社会体验。两首叙事诗中,读者对人物的面部识别是通过认知机制的调动与作品达成共情的关键途径。对面部识别的探讨不仅对于莎士比亚叙事诗的研究是一个有益的切入点,而且对以认知文学批评方法研究其他文学作品提供了参考。
